Sam Breeden, 13, was so excited, he looked like he might jump out of his socks. His family had earlier received a brand-new car, so it wasn't even the best part of the day.

Alvey Elementary School assistant principal Matthew Ritter had just handed Sam's parents, Sharri and Bill Breeden, a $2,000 gift certificate for Target.

Considering the scope of events that had happened that day, this was just a little extra bonus. But maybe because it was smaller and less overwhelming, this was the item that made Sam bounce on his toes.

The gift card was intended to help the Breedens, who are currently residing in Stafford County, as they rebuild their lives after losing their home in hurricanes Katrina and Rita this year.
